LETTER FROM AN ORPHANAGE DOCTOR
A Lenten Story
-
rewritten from the original
-
before they even call
I have answered
isaiah 65:24
-
one night I had worked hard
to help a mother in the labour ward
but in spite of all we could do
she died leaving us
with a tiny premature baby
and a two-year-old daughter crying
-
we had no special feeding facilities
an aide came running to me in distress
saying the rubber feeding bottle burst
while she was filling it
it was our last hot-water bottle
it was not good crying over spilt milk
from a broken bottle
which did not grow on trees
there were no drugstores down the forest path
-
next day, while i was at prayer with the orphans
I told them that the feeding bottle broke
and the premature baby may die
I told them to pray about problems they had
-
when it was the turn of ten-year-old ruth
she said, “please, God, send us a water bottle
and please send it this afternoon before the baby dies
and while You are at it, You might as well send a doll
to the baby’s older sister
so she’ll know You really love her?”
-
i hesitated to say ‘amen’
i just did not believe God could do this
of course I knew He could do everything
the Bible says so
nothing is impossible for the Lord
but there are limits, aren’t there?
the only way God could answer this prayer
would be to send me a parcel from homeland
i had never received a parcel
in my four years at the orphanage
and who would put
a feeding bottle or a doll in there?
-
that afternoon, we were all surprised
when a car arrived in this lonely outpost
and dumped a gigantic two-kilo parcel
at the front door
-
i gathered the 40-odd children
so we could open the parcel together
carefully, I undid the string knot
everyone was silent in anticipation
crowding each other around me
-
they gave a loud sigh in unison
when first to come out were
brightly colored knitted jerseys
i gave them out
and they giggled with glee
-
then there were knitted bandages
for the leprosy patients
the kids looked a little bored
then came a box of mixed raisins and sultanas
they perked up again
-
as I reached in deeper
lo and behold a brand-new hot-water bottle
i could not hold my tears
they were asking what was wrong
i just nodded my head
-
ruth came forward and took the bottle
and danced with it
they all broke into a song
that i had taught them just a day before
-
i did not pray for the bottle
It was ruth who did
she said, “If God has sent the bottle
He must have sent the doll too!”
-
impossible, I said, the bottle was good enough
but a doll, that’s too much of a coincidence
so I reached down again
and there it was - a beautifully dressed dolly
ruth was not surprised, she never doubted it
she grabbed it and kissed it
and they went for a second song
this time louder than ever
it was a song of praise to the Lord
I was too stunned to sing with them
-
ruth asked me, “can I go over with you
and give this dolly to the little girl?
i want to tell her Jesus really loves her”
we were on our way
walking towards the little girl
i was ashamed of myself
for being of so little faith
how could I say nothing
was impossible for the Lord
and not believe it?
-
the parcel had been on its way
five long months before
prepared by my former sunday school class
who ‘obeyed’ God’s silent ‘order’
for a bottle and a doll for two african kids
at the request of a tiny girl called ruth
-
sincerely,
a children’s doctor
-
*************
-
before they even call
I have answered
-
isaiah 65:24
-
before they even pray
I have granted their prayer
before they even speak
I have heard their plea
-
from your mother’s womb
I have known you
with every breath you make
I am with you
-
with every yearning of your troubled heart
I bring you peace
I am the wind on windless days
pushing your sail towards shore
-
eastwind
-
praise to You o Father
for what you have hidden from the wise
you have revealed to little children
-
luke 10:21
-
he who asks shall receive
he who seeks shall find
he who knocks
the door shall be opened
-
matthew 7:8
-
behold the kingdom of heaven
is within you
-
luke 17:21
-
return to Me with your whole heart
with fasting and weeping and mourning
rend your hearts not your garments
return to Me your Lord your God
for gracious and mercial am I
slow to anger rich in kindness
relenting in punishment
-
joel 2:12-13
-
there are in the end three things
that never fail
faith and hope and love
and the greatest of these is love
-
1 corinthians 13:13
-
when you cross turbulent waters
I shall be with you
in the wild rivers you shall not drown
when you walk through fire
you shall not be burned
no flames shall consume you
as I am with you always
for I am the Lord your God
your Saviour the Holy One
for you are precious and glorious in My eyes
and I love you
-
isaiah 43:2-8
-
Save and send this to friends and the sick.

healing story 2 - HEALING JANET’S WOUNDS a true story

-
HEALING JANET’S WOUNDS
-
A true story of Light and darkness
Names have been changed.
-
SINCE THE AGE OF 7 UNTIL SHE LEFT HER HOME AT AGE 12, JANET WAS REPEATEDLY RAPED BY HER STEPFATHER. HER MOTHER DISCOVERED THIS A MONTH AFTER IT STARTED BUT DID NOTHING ABOUT IT.
-
SHE FEARED HER SECOND HUSBAND, A MECHANIC, WOULD LEAVE THEM AND THEY WOULD STARVE TO DEATH. SHE WORKED TWICE A WEEK WASHING CLOTHES BUT HER INCOME WAS NOT ENOUGH. ALSO, SHE FELT INADEQUATE IN SATISFYING HIS SEX DRIVE.
-
THE STEPFATHER TOLD JANET HE WOULD KILL HER IF THE NEIGHBORS EVER FOUND OUT. SHE BORE HER PAIN ALONE AND IN SECRET FOR SIX LONG YEARS. SHE WAS MUTILATED SPIRITUALLY AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY ON TOP OF PHYSICAL ABUSE.
-
WHAT WAS MORE PAINFAL WAS HER MOTHER AGREED TO LET HER BE ABUSED. SHE FELT UNLOVED AND HATED. TO PROTECT HERSELF FROM THE HARSH WORLD, SHE SIMPLY CLOSED HER SPIRIT TO EVERYONE. SHE MADE HERSELF NUMB AND UNFEELING, SUPPRESSING HER ANGER AND HATE. EVERYDAY, SHE STARED AT NOTHINGNESS. SHE WAS A CORKED VOLCANO, READY AT ANYTIME TO EXPLODE INSIDE. IT WAS EASYAT THIS POINT TO COMMIT SUICIDE OR LOSE HER MIND, OR SOMETHING ELSE GRUESOME.
-
ONE MORNING, A BOY LOOKING FOR A TENNIS BALL STRAYED INTO THEIR HOUSE. AS HE SNEAKED IN UNNOTICED, HE SAW THE STEPFATHER ABUSING JANET. HE RAN AND REPORTED THIS IMMEDIATELY TO HIS FATHER, WHO SOUGHT HELP FROM A SISTER FROM A NEARBY ORPHANAGE FOR SEXUALLY ABUSED CHILDREN.
-
THE SISTER CAME WITH A POLICEMAN TO RESCUE JANET. MOTHER AND STEPFATHER DID NOT PUT UP A FIGHT. IN THEIR SHAME, THEY LET JANET GO INSTANTLY. IT WAS A QUICK AND EASY RESCUE.
-
AT THE ORPHANAGE, JANET MET OTHER CHILDREN WHO, LIKE HER, WERE VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ABUSE. BUT TIME TOOK A TOLL ON JANET. SIX YEARS WAS JUST TOO MUCH. JANET DID NOT SPEAK A WORD TO ANYONE FOR TWO LONG YEARS. SHE KEPT TO HERSELF AND NEVER MADE FRIENDS WITH OTHER CHILREN. SHE WAS COMPLETELY CLOSED TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD. THE WOUND WAS TOO DEEP INSIDE HER FOR ANYONE TO REACH. FOR TWO WHOLE YEARS, JANET DID NOT SPEAK A SINGLE WORD TO ANYONE. THE SISTERS FELT SHE WAS GETTING CRAZY.
-
THE SISTERS HAD A SPECIAL PROGRAM TO PUT THE 30-ODD CHILDREN IN GROUPS OF FIVE TO SIX TO TALK TO EACH OTHER. TO INSURE THAT THEY WOULD BARE THEMSELVES TO EACH OTHER AS A FORM OF THERAPY, NOTHING WAS REVEALED OUTSIDE THE GROUP. ONLY THEY SHARED AND KNEW THEIR OWN SECRETS. NOT EVEN THE SISTERS KNEW.
-
ON THE FIRST DAY IN JANET’S CIRCLE OF FIVE, NO ONE WANTED TO TALK. AN HOUR PASSED BY. THEY SIMPLY STARED AT EACH OTHER. A SISTER CAME TO COMMENT THAT THEY WOULD FEEL BETTER IF THEY TALKED AND SHARED. TO BREAK THE ICE, SISTER SPOKE ABOUT HERSELF SHAMELESSLY THAT SHE TOO WAS ONCE A VICTIM OF SELF ABUSE. THE OTHERS SAW HER WATERY EYES AS SHE SPOKE OF THE TRAUMA AND THE PAIN. FINALLY, TINA SPOKE. THE SISTER LEFT THEM.
-
TINA
I was nine years old then. A man came to visit my mother and they talked for a long time. Finally, before leaving, the man gave my mother five thousand pesos, something we had never seen in our lifetime. She gave me five hundred pesos and told me to buy chicken and noodles and anything I liked. I bought ice cream and tasted it for the first time in my life. We had a feast, mother and daughter. While we gobbled such delicious food, my mother explained that I had to go with that man tomorrow to do a task for him. The money was my ‘salary’. I was scared but had no choice. I agreed, not knowing what I would do or what would happen to me.
-
Next day, the man came and we took a taxi to a far away place. We entered a big house and a Japanese man let me into his room. The man who brought me left. I was told to undress. I did not want to. The man forced me and raped me. My sex organ was bleeding.
-
AT THIS POINT, TINA COULD NOT CONTINUE. TEARS STARTED FLOWING. TWO OTHER GIRLS FOLLOWED, SOBBING ALOUD. IT WAS THE ABSOLUTE ICE BREAKER. LIKE MACHINE GUN FIRE, THE OTHERS TOLD THEIR PAINFUL EXPERIENCES. TEARS WERE ALL OVER THE PLACE. A LOT OF SPIRITUAL UNWINDING WAS HAPPENING AT A RAPID PACE. THEY EMBRACED EACH OTHER. A CATHARSIS STORM ENSUED. BUT NOT JANET. SHE WAS SILENT AND WITHOUT EMOTION. SHE JUST HAD AN EMPTY STARE.
-
EVERYDAY FOR A WEEK, THE GROUP MET MORNING AND AFTERNOON. THEY WERE UNWINDING THEIR SOULS TO EACH OTHER. THEY WERE GETTING CLOSE AND INTIMATE WITH EACH OTHER AS THEY SHARED THEIR DEEPEST PAINS. THERE WERE DAYS WHEN THEY SCREAMED WITH JOY TELLING THEIR STORIES OR GIVING JOKES. THEY DID NOT KNOW IT BUT THEY WERE FORMING A ‘FAMILY’ OF THEIR OWN. BUT NOT JANET. SHE STARED INTO THE EMPTINESS OF HER SOUL, NO TEARS, NO EMOTION, JUST A BLANK SILENT STARE. THE OTHERS TRIED TO PERSUADE HER TO SPEAK. THEY SAID IT FELT GOOD ONCE THEY TALKED OF THEIR PAIN. BUT JANET WAS CLOSED TIGHT LIKE A SEA SHELL. NO ONE COULD OPEN HER UP, NOT EVEN HERSELF. SHE WAS AS COLD AS ICE.
-
IN THEIR REGULAR SESSIONS, THEY WERE GETTING USED TO SILENT JANET. ONE DAY, THEY ALL DECIDED TO HUG HER. THAT PHYSICAL TOUCH WAS THE CLINCHER. JANET WAS JUST WAITING TO BE SHOWN SOME SEMBLANCE OF LOVE. FOR THE FIRST TIME, TEARS FLOWED PROFIOUSLY, POURING LIKE A DELUGE DOWN HER CHEEK, AS IF TWO YEARS OF TEARS WERE SAVED FOR THAT MOMENT. THE FOUR OTHER GIRLS FELL SILENT AS THEY SAW JANET CRY.
-
SHE SPOKE, AT FIRST CROAKING LIKE A FROG, BECAUSE SHE HAD NOT USED HER VOCAL CHORDS FOR TWO YEARS. THE OTHERS LISTENED INTENTLY AS SHE TOLD EVERY DETAIL OF HER PAIN OF SIX YEARS OF RAPES. THERE WERE SIGHS FROM THE AUDIENCE. SHE WAS RUNNING OUT OF TEARS. FINALLY, BEFORE SHE COULD FINISH HER STORIES, THEY ALL GANGED UP ON HER AND HUGGED HER AND IT WAS A TEARS PARTY ALL OVER AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME WITH JANET REVEALED.
-
AND SO JANET HAD AN INSTANT METAMORPHOSIS FROM TOTAL DARKNESS TO BLINDING LIGHT AT THE BLINK OF AN EYE. SHE BECAME THE LIFE OF THE ORPHANAGE, A LEADER WHO ALWAYS STARTED THINGS GOING. EVERYONE LOOKED UP TO HER AS THE WISE ELDER SISTER.
I MET JANET BECAUSE I WAS DOING A STORY ON CHILDREN AS VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ABUSE FOR A NEWSPAPER. HER STORY WAS TOLD TO ME NOT BY HER BUT BY A SISTER. I PEEKED INTO THE KITCHEN AND SAW JANET GIGGLING AS THEY PREPARED NOODLES FOR OUR AFTERNOON SNACK. SHE ME, A TOTAL STRANGER, SHE SMILED. SEEING HER, I FELT I KNEW HER A LONG TIME AGO.
-
THERE IS SO MUCH DESPAIR AND PAIN IN OUR WORLD TODAY. THE BEST GIFT WE CAN GIVE OTHERS IS THE GLIMMER OF A TINY CANDLE LIGHT OF HOPE, WHICH CAN SOMEHOW ENCOMPASS AND CONQUER THEIR DESPAIR AND DARKNESS.
-
it took other children with pain
to heal janet’s pain
for pain heals pain as fire chokes fire
-
at times we fear to open up
because we are ashamed
to let others see the darkness within
-
but when all have seen
each others’ darkness
what is left is the blinding Light
-
we all have that Light within us
we just have to find it
and bring it out for all to see
-
for the Light was given to us
not for our own sake
but for the sake of others around us
-
eastwind

****************
the people who walked in darkness
have seen a radiant light
upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom
-
You have brought them o Lord
abundant joy and great peace
and they celebrate the new harvest
-
the yoke that burdened them
the pole on their shoulder
You have smashed as in the days of midian
-
isaiah:8:23-9:3
-
*******************
the Lord is my Light and my salvation
whom should I fear?
He is my refuge, from whom should I flee?

my foes shall stumble and fall
i have no fear in my heart
for i am secure in the Lord
-
psalm 27
-
*********************
I am the Light of the world
he who follows Me shall not walk in darkness
but shall have the Light of life
-
john 8:12

*********************
while you have the Light
believe in the Light
that you may become children of the Light

healing story 1 - FORGIVENESS HEALS the true story of rolly sucad

====================================
FORGIVENESS HEALS
The true story of Rolly Suclad
====================================
-
THIS WAS MADE INTO A MOVIE ENTITLED “GANOO KITA KAMAHAL”, A VIVA FILMS PRODUCTION STARRING CHRISTOPHER DE LEON AS ROLLY AND LORNA TOLENTINO AS MARIBEL (NOT HER REAL NAME, TO PROTECT HER PRIVACY). AS I WRITE THIS, I SHED THE TEARS OF ROLLY
-
ROLLY SUCLAD WAS A BASKETBALL STAR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BAGUIO, GOOD LOOKING, IDOLIZED BY WOMEN, ENVIED BY MEN. HE WAS A WORKING STUDENT, A PART TIME SECURITY GUARD AT THE MINES VIEW PARK.
-
HE WAS COURTING AN EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL GIRL, NAME UNKNOWN. LET US CALL HER JESSICA. MANY WERE RUNNING AFTER HER BUT ROLLY HAD A GOOD CHANCE AS A BASKETBALL STAR. HE WAS GETTING INTO FIRST BASE FAST. A RIVAL, ARNIE (ALSO NOT HIS REAL NAME), WHO HAD BEEN COURTING JESSICA FOR A GOOD YEAR NOW, WAS ALSO AT FIRST BASE. ROLLY STARTED SEEING JESSICA ONLY THESE LAST TWO WEEKS, BUT HE WAS GETTING HER ATTENTION. ARNIE WAS EXTREMELY DISTURBED AND JEALOUS.
-
ONE EARLY MORNING, AS ROLLY DOZED OFF WHILE ON DUTY AT THE PARK, ARNIE SNEAKED QUIETLY, AND SEEING A POT OF LIVE EMBERS THAT ROLLY USED TO GET WARM IN THE COLD MOUNTAIN NIGHT, POURED THE CONTENTS ON HIS FACE.
-
ROLLY HAD MORE THAN TWENTY OPERATIONS. HE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR TWO LONG YEARS. BUT THEY COULD NO LONGER RESTORE HIS FACE. HE LOOKED WORSE THAN QUASIMODO. JESSICA VANISHED. FROM THE HEIGHTS OF STARDOM, THIS HANDSOME BASKETBALL PLAYER PLUNGED INTO DEEP DEPRESSION AND DESPAIR. HE HAD NIGHTMARES OFTEN, AND WOULD WAKE UP IN TEARS.
-
MARIBEL WAS A STUDENT NURSE WHO CHANGED THE BANDAGES ON ROLLY’S FACE EVERY OTHER NIGHT. SHE BECAME HIS ONLY SOLACE. THEY WOULD TALK LONG HOURS AT NIGHT.
-
ROLLY
One day, I will find this guy Arnie, who did this to me, and I will kill him.
-
MARIBEL
What for? It will not change your face.
-
ROLLY
But it will satisfy my anger and hatred. I want vengeance. He ruined my life. I want him dead.
-
MARIBEL
Your hatred will only consume you. You are the one suffering from your hatred, not him. Just forgive and forget.
-
ROLLY
That’s easy to say for you. When I get out of the hospital, I will not rest until I find him. I can never forgive him. (TREMBLING AND ALMOST SHOUTING) Never!!
-
MARIBEL
It must be hard carrying such extreme hatred in your heart. I have never experienced that. My pain is very different.
-
ROLLY
What is your pain, anyway?
-
MARIBEL
Oh something simpler, I am too ashamed to tell you.
-
ROLLY
Oh, come on. I told you my pain, tell me yours.
-
MARIBEL
This is the first time I am away from home. I come from a big happy famiy of ten children. But we never quarrel. Everyday is heaven in our home. I often sit in bed at night, unable to sleep, feeling extremely bored and lonely here, so terribly homesick. Lately I have this deep depression, even as I am busy working in the hospital. Once, a patient noticed my tears when I was taking her temperature.
-
ROLLY
Your pain is easier than mine.
-
MARIBEL
I know, that is why I want to help you. Somehow, when I try to forget my pain by talking to you, it disappears. When I see your pain, I see how lucky I am and my pain disappears instantly. I think you are a very kind and gentle person even in your pain.
-
ROLLY
Well, it is the same for me. When you are here, I forget about the vengeance I am planning. I know I will never lose that hatred, but at least, it vanishes for a while.
-
AND SO THEY BECAME EACH OTHER’S SOLACE IN THE DARKNESS OF THEIR LIVES. GRADUALLY, IN SPITE OF ROLLY’S HORRIED FACE, THEY FELL IN LOVE AND EVENTUALLY GOT MARRIED.
-
BUT ROLLY’S OBSESSION TO FIND ARNIE LINGERED, AND NEVER LEFT HIM. EVERY NIGHT, HE THOUGHT OF ONE DAY FINDING ARNIE. HIS HATRED CONSUMED HIM TOTALLY UNTIL IT AFFECTED HIS MARRIAGE. IT WAS NOW ON THE ROCKS. MARIBEL COULD NOT REACH OUT TO HIM. HE BECAME CLOSED AND COLD IN HIS ANGER. HIS MARRIAGE WAS FALLING APART BECAUSE OF HIS HATRED.
-
ROLLY MET PAUL AGUAS, WHO CONVINCED HIM TO JOIN A CATHOLIC CHARISMATIC GROUP HE HEADED. ROLLY FOUND RESPITE FROM HIS ROCKY MARRIAGE. SLOWLY, HE FOUND SPIRITUAL COMFORT AND STRENGTH FROM PRAYER. AFTER A YEAR, HE HAD A DRAMATIC SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION. HIS BITTERNESS AND OBSESSION FOR VENGEANCE VANISHED INTO THIN AIR. HE POURED HIMSELF TO SERVING THE LORD. FOR TWENTY LONG YEARS, HE WAS AN ACTIVE VOLUNTEER IN THE GROUP.
-
HAVING DINNER WITH MARIBEL ONE EVENING IN A RESTAURANT, ROLLY SUDDENLY STARTED SHAKING. HE DID NOT SEE ARNIE BUT MYSTERIOUSLY FELT HIS PRESENCE. PERHAPS IT WAS THE SUDDEN REKINDLING OF HIS HATRED THAT GAVE HIM PSYCHIC POWERS. HE FELT AND KNEW HIS TRANSGRESSOR WAS CLOSE BY. MEMORIES OF HIS PAIN RUSHED INTO HIS BRAIN LIKE A LIGHTNING BOLT. ALL THE HATRED CAME BACK LIKE A TSUNAMI.
-
MARIBEL HELD HIS HAND TIGHT IN TEARS. SHE INTUITIVELY KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING. BUT SHE HAD TO ASK ANYWAY.
-
MARIBEL
What’s wrong?
-
ROLLY
(TREMBING, IN TEARS, AND SHOUTING). Lord, I forgive him. Lord, I forgive him. Truly, I do. I forgive, I forgive. Thank you for removing the hatred in my heart.
-
ROLLY SLUMPED ON HIS CHAIR SOBBING SHAMELESSLY. ARNIE DID NOT EVEN KNOW. IT WAS A FEAT. IN RETURN, GOD’S GIFT WAS A HAPPY MARRIAGE, RESTORED INSTANTLY WHEN HE FORGAVE. HE WAS BLEST WITH THREE LOVELY CHILDREN. EVENTUALLY, HE DIED OF BRAIN CANCER. AS OF THIS WRITING, MARIBEL IS TEACHING AT ST. LOUIS UNIVERSITY.
-
BEFORE HE DIED, HE ORGANIZED A CHARISMATIC GROUP FOR ACTORS AND ACTRESSES CALLED ‘OASIS OF LOVE’, OF WHICH CHRISTOPHER DE LEON WAS A MEMBER, THAT IS WHY HE MADE ROLLY’S STORMY LIFE INTO A FILM. TO THIS DAY, ROLLY’S LEGACY OF FORGIVENESS LIVES.
-
we know how hard it is
to forgive when we are extremely hurt
hatred consumed rolly’s soul for a long time
but the Lord guided him through the storm
rolly did the feat of total forgiveness
with the strength of the Lord’s grace
-
for twenty long years of service
in a charismatic group
the Lord was preparing him
for this day of confrontation
not with the assailant but with himself
-
total darkness to blinding light
total hatred to total forgiveness
all in the blink of an eye
-
physical beauty is nothing
compared to spiritual beauty
rolly lost his physical beauty
but the Lord gave him spiritual beauty
the Lord used his pain
to guide him through His winding path
-
for all paths lead to Him
He makes us blind so we can see
He gives us darkness
so He can lead us with His Light
-
Lord, that we may forgive
in our darkest hour
when the wound is so deep
be with us in that very moment
when we are at the eye of the storm
